mood: cheerful
music: crickets, frogs, night sounds
We're finally moved into our new house! Well, more or less. We've still got plenty of boxes to unpack, but we can at least find the kitchen, the dining room table, and the beds. However, rather than write about that right now, I'm going to write about something else.
Lando told his first real joke yesterday! He's told many "jokes" in the past, but they tended to be something like this:
LANDO: Daddy! Why did the chicken cross the road?
ME: Why?
LANDO: I don't know! Hahaha! That's so funny!
Okay, he understood the basic structure -- "I say something, Daddy says something, I say something, we laugh" -- but the actual content still left quite a bit to be desired.
Yesterday was different. True, it took him 3 attempts to get the joke right, but he did eventually get it right! Here was his first attempt:
LANDO: Daddy! Why did the chicken cross the road?
ME: Why?
LANDO: To get to the slide! At the playground! Hahaha!
After a brief pause, he realized that he hadn't told it properly, so he tried again:
LANDO: Why did the chicken cross the road?
ME: Why?
LANDO: To get to the playground! Hahaha!
Like a true professional, he didn't let his past failures slow him down! He immediately launched into attempt number 3:
LANDO: Daddy! Why did the chicken cross the playground?
ME: Why?
LANDO: To get to the other slide!
BOTH: Hahaha!
LANDO: Thank you! Thank you! I'll be here through Saturday! Remember to tip your waitress!
Okay, I added that last bit.
